For more complex microprocessors, which implement elaborate instruction sets, the same approach works. However, since the design is more complex, there are more test cases to cover. Most of these ...

MOST MICROPROCESSORS—the chips that do the grunt work in computers—are built around designs, known as instruction-set architectures (ISAs), which are owned either by Intel, an American giant ...

As we saw in the January issue, only about 2% of all microprocessors made drive PCs (" The Two Percent Solution," p. 29). Intel's Pentium has a dominant share of the PC business ( the Federal Trade ...

If you maintain an interest in vintage computers, you may well know something of the early history of the microprocessor, how Intel’s 4-bit 4004, intended for a desktop calculator, was the fi… ...

But microprocessors employing nanometer-sized bar magnets -- like tiny refrigerator magnets -- for memory, logic and switching operations theoretically would require no moving electrons.

Space-grade microprocessors, FPGAs and ACAPs are complementary on-board processing technologies each offering unique strengths. In-orbit, Edge-based processing requires real-time computation of large ...

ARM Holdings plc (ARM) designs microprocessors, physical Internet protocol (IP) and related technology and software, and sells development tools. ARM licenses and sells its technology and products ...

Instead, Intel took the more difficult road, supporting conflict-free sources within the region. In 2012, the company committed to only manufacturing conflict-free microprocessors by the end of 2013.

Major players in the microprocessors market are Mediatek, Samsung, Toshiba, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung Semiconductor, Broadcom, Freescale Semiconductor, MediaTek, and Nvidia. The global ...
